We live in an increasingly interconnected and dependent global community. We see all sorts of different cultures and identities. But, that doesn’t mean we truly understand them. Similarly, learning a language doesn’t guarantee an understanding of its speakers’ culture. I, like many other students, have pursued a minor in a foreign language. As part of my German studies, I’ve had the privilege of studying at the Goethe Institute in Dresden, Germany.

Leadership development was a focal point throughout this entire experience. Before departure, students were…
16 How do you celebrate the people working for you in different locations and time zones? If you’re managing remote employees, shoutouts that used to happen in staff meetings now happen in virtual huddles. Instead of bringing donuts to the office, you might give everyone a gift card for coffee. Teams that reach their targets get a bonus or unique gift. Conventional wisdom says these strategies should help with remote employee engagement. Unfortunately, human behavior rarely follows conventional wisdom. Employee recognition is no different. Creating a culture of recognition and boosting remote employee engagement means breaking with conventional wisdom in…
